ForwardPalliative Management of Persons with Serious Illness
The Baptist Health Medical Group’s Palliative Care Department, in collaboration with VITAS Healthcare, Catholic Hospice, and Compassionate Care Hospice, presents Palliative Management of Persons with Serious Illness. Palliative care is now a rapidly growing medical specialty in the United States, and a mounting body of evidence shows that it enhances the quality of healthcare for persons living with serious illness and for their families, while reducing medical expenditures. This one-day course aims to equip practitioners who care for patients with life-limiting conditions with the tools necessary to assess and treat physical and psychological symptoms, identify and support for spiritual distress, communicate goals of care and assist with complex medical decision making that aligns with patients’ families’ diverse cultural and religious beliefs.
Target Audience
Palliative Care Team Members, including but not limited to Physicians, Psychologists, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Pharmacists, Respiratory Therapists, Clinical Chaplains, Medical Students and other interested healthcare professionals.
Learning Objectives
- Compare different treatment modalities for pain management.
- Develop a classification scheme for establishing goals of care for the patient that combines the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains.
- Analyze various religious views of death and dying.
- Summarize palliative care techniques used for the patient in end-stage heart failure.
